Wouldn't be surprised if he can't. He went out midway through Game 3 against Q with what appeared to be an arm injury (if my memory is right) and didn't return.

If Birch can't play, I'd assume we use the normal 6-defensemen allignment, with Ross staying at D and antoher forward (Axell?) stepping in.

Old news. Brandon Thomas said as much in his Tuesday IJ article.

QuoteCornell defenseman Braden Birch, who was knocked out of Sunday's game with an upper-body injury, didn't practice Tuesday. Schafer said he was hopeful of having Birch back at practice Wednesday, but added that he thought Birch was "doubtful" for the weekend.

Oh NOOOO! I'm leaving in an hour or two. Will you be at Erie if we don't beat Green?

I've got some newspapers.

There's still a chance that I can make Erie.(Praying emoticon here.)

Too bad Braden Birch is out. What matters is Union is out and a seed lower than us is in, so we play Dartmouth not Union. Getting to Atlantic City is an accomplishment given the strength of the league this year. Meanwhile, as for getting to the ECACs from Ithaca:

Code Select


Ithaca to Albany .......... 196 miles
Ithaca to Lake Placid ..... 253 miles
[color=#FF0000][b]Ithaca to Atlantic City ... 308 miles[/b][/color]
Ithaca to Boston Garden ... 362 miles

For Dartmouth's fan, he's got a ride of 393 miles. It's unlikely, but I'm rooting for an all-NYS final. LGR!

But Boston's a lot more fun than AC.
